My Outlines (VERY LONG AND ALOT OF SPELLING MISTAKES IT MY NOTES)
My Identity and My Family (RELIGION)
-Born in Thailand to a Buddishm base family
-Both by dad and mom side are buddishm
-my grandmother on the mom side go to the temple-or wat every Saturday
-At that time I belived that buddah was a real person and till this day I still belive that he existed in history
-I my family are Theravada buddishm
  • we worship Buddah as a deity and his idea of peace
  • the Monks would preach buddah teaching of Four Noble Truth and the Eight fold path to enlightment
  • And tell stories of Buddah journey and his path of enlightment
  • I know that the original buddish teaching said that he wasn’t ment to be worshiped as a deity but i look at buddah more of a spritual teacher than a god
  • I imagined buddah as the light that would bring me to peace and enlightment

  • I go to wat(temple) atlease once every month when i lived with my grandmother
  • I celebrate with the people around me.


  • I moved away from my grandmother house when i was 6 that was when my mother remarried to my step-dad
  • My step-dad is originally a christian but as he grow up he become more of an Athiest
  • So christianaty dint really affect me
  • when i turn 8 i moved to teh United States
  • I quickly notice the Massived Christian Population in the United States
  • unlike christianity, Buddishm dint say that accepting other religion as a religion was bad
  • The idea of christianity dint really make me want to convert
  • In the United States when people asked me do i belived in god i said yes to prevent from any christian friends to try to convert me.
  • In my head i belived that jesus christ was just like the buddah
  • After i started to become to customed to the american life I learn to live by with out christianity and
  • Started looking at my childhood religion as a Pilliosophy rather than a religion since there wern’t many
  • Wat in teh US
